Samu Aghehowa, the Portuguese team’s offensive leader, will bear the responsibility of breaking down a defence that has shown weaknesses, especially due to the significant losses for Al Ahly. The Egyptian team have not won either. They have not scored in either of their two matches: 0-0 against Inter Miami and 0-2 against Palmeiras. Their attack has not generated any real danger.

Injuries have taken their toll on Jose Riveiro’s team. Any result other than a win will leave one or even both teams on the brink of elimination. There is urgency, and there is no room for error.

Form:

AL-Ahly (last five games): L-D-L-W-W-W

Players to watch out for:

Samu Aghehowa ( FC Porto )

Aghehowa plays with determination and a clear instinct for attack. His mobility complicates matters for any defence. He moves well between the lines, creates space and finishes without hesitation.

The Porto player can start on the wing or stay in the centre, and in both areas, he is a constant threat. With a good shot from outside the area and the ability to combine in short passes, he is a key offensive weapon. The 21-year-old is fast, but also knows when to slow down.

In tight games, the Spaniard finds solutions that others do not see. If Porto want to strike first, he will be an important part of the plan. His physicality and reading of the game make him difficult to stop.

Zizo (Al Ahly)

Zizo stands out as the main link between midfield and attack. He thinks quickly, executes without delay and always looks for the pass that breaks lines. The 29-year-old has an eye for a goal, but before that, he has the clarity to assist.

The Egyptian can play in the centre forward position or drop to the wings without losing influence. He handles pressure well and does not disappear in tense matches. The player’s long-range shots often test the opposing goalkeeper.

He also helps in recovery, which is unusual for a player of his profile. If Al Ahly want to dominate technically, Zizo will set the pace with every ball he receives.

Match Prediction:

FC Porto’s balanced attack, led by Samu Aghehowa, and their 1.65 xG against Inter Miami gave them an edge. Al Ahly’s injury list, including Emam Ashour and others, weakens their squad. Porto’s set-piece strength and Al Ahly’s defensive vulnerabilities tilt this in Porto’s favour for a narrow victory.
